Avoid breakfast standards in New Orleans. From basic diners like Slim Goodies to foodie haunts like Stanley’s to the elegance of Brennan’s, kick-off your day with a memorable breakfast. Exit your hotel and indulge in a Mother’s crawfish omelet or go for Croissant D’Or’s freshly baked sweet or savory croissants and café au lait – and then there’s always veal grillades and perfectly poached eggs at Brennan’s. So many choices and so little time!!

Mother’s
Door open at 7:00 AM for omelets, biscuits, grits, eggs and ham at the one and only Mother’s on Poydras Street. Come hungry and choose between NOLA only omelets – Crawfish Etoufee, Shrimp Creole, Red Bean or build your own – or go for more traditional fare like black forest ham and eggs, biscuits with various egg and meat combos, pancakes and waffles.
